Scouting report: Ben Crenshaw

Why these ratings

Ben Crenshaw's profile is defined by putting (85) — the standout number in the card. As a Shotmaker, Ben shapes the ball and manufactures scores rather than overpowering a course — short game 82, iron play 81. Creative recovery makes this style thrive when a hole looks lost.

Ryder Cup strengths

Ben's biggest weapons are Putting (85) — strong putting; Short game (82) — strong short game; Pressure (82) — strong pressure. These are the attributes to lean on when picking sessions and pairings.

Weaknesses to manage

The softer spots in the card are Driving (77) and Accuracy (78). In match play these are the areas an opponent will target, and the reason pairing Ben with a complementary partner matters.
